The Yellow Card

The yellow and the red cards are the disciplinary sanctions that are taken by the referee of the football match. Following are some of the fouls and misconducts that may cause the players to be shown a yellow card by the referee.

• Any kind of unsporting behavior of the player can send him or her outside the field for a certain period of time.

• Another case is when the players exhibit some sort of dissent by action or by word

• The player who is responsible for delaying the restart of the game can also be shown the yellow card

• Any player who keeps on infringing the laws and rules of the football match despite warnings from the referee is also likely to get a yellow card

• No player can enter or re-enter the field of the game without the permission of the referee. If any player tries to do so, he or she may be penalized with a yellow card.

• Likewise, leaving the field of the game without the permission of the referee is also a similar offence.

• While attempting a throw in, free kick or corner kick, if a player does not respect the set distance as per the laws of football, he or she may be penalized with a yellow card.

The Red Card

Following are some of the serious offences that may penalize the players with a red card in a football match.

• Any kind of serious foul play by any of the players will earn them a red card, which will eventually put them outside the field of the play for the rest of the game.

• Likewise, any violent act will also earn the players a red card

• Spitting at an opponent player or any other person also comes under a serious misconduct in a football match, and the penalty is nothing less than a red card.

• Sometimes, the players in an effort to stop the opponent player from scoring goals handle the ball. Such acts will also earn them a red card and put them out of the game.

• Abusive or offensive language is also prohibited.
